The Optimist Difference - A Way
Of Life

What differentiates Optimist Clubs from any other
volunteer opportunity is simple. Optimists take their upbeat approach and
work every day to make a difference for themselves and for the people around them.
Optimists are people who believe that through positive action in their communities they
can create a better tomorrow.
Their
mission is threefold:
An Optimistic Attitude
Optimists believe that a positive approach can make all
the difference in the world. Through hands-on community and youth programs, Optimists
brighten spirits and create hope and confidence in the future. The Optimist Creed
provides proof of the Optimists' philosophy
Youth & Community Service
Along with the Optimists' motto, "Bringing
out the best in kid's," comes the commitment to help, educate, inspire, and believe in tomorrow's
future--our young people. Optimists believe that by investing in youth, we can ensure a
better tomorrow.
Personal Development
Optimist Club members receive as much as they give.
Optimists have endless opportunities to gain leadership experience and to grow personally
and professionally. Optimists value the social and business relationships they develop
with individuals from a cross section of their community.
Optimist International is one of the largest and most
active service club organizations in the world. It is comprised of more than
115,000
volunteer members in 3,200 Optimist Clubs. The Mission Statement of Optimist
International is - "By providing hope and positive vision,
Optimists bring out the best in kids." Optimist members conduct positive community and youth service programs which
reach in excess of six million young people each year.
